Pei Qian felt that this name should be straightforward and boring, right?

The future you chose was actually hinting to all players and audiences: If you send money to Tengda now, the final outcome would be what you show in the game and movie.

Dont blame me if that happens in the future!

Therefore, dont give me money!

Alright, alright. Let Tengda incur losses!

This name could be regarded as a warning to all players and audiences. It was also because Pei Qian did not want Tengda to make money too quickly.

Now, many people had high hopes and fantasies for Tengda. Pei Qian felt that this was a huge resistance to his loss of money. He had to think of a way to get rid of it. Otherwise, there would be endless trouble.

Whats more, this name was very boring and straightforward. Thus, the chances of being misunderstood would be correspondingly lower.

If he were to come up with a name like Darkness Empire and describe Tengda as a huge dark empire, it might be a good metaphor but it might also send everyone the feeling that Wow, Tengda Empire is so awesome. That might backfire.

Everyone did not ask any questions and silently recorded it down.

He could try to figure it out!

The name often represented the core idea that Boss Pei wanted to express. As long as he could understand it, he would definitely be able to find the core content of the story.

Pei Qian looked around and realized that everyone looked like they were deep in thought. He suddenly felt fl.u.s.tered.

It still did not feel safe!

He might have said so much but everyone present were imagining things. They could not think of a story that they would imagine!

After some consideration, Pei Qian decided that this alone was not enough. He had to be more specific.

He looked at Zhu Xiaoce first.

Among everyone, Pei Qian felt that Zhu Xiaoce was the biggest threat. He was the one who could distort the plot the most.

For example, the failure of Tomorrow is Beautiful was Zhu Xiaoces fault!

Thus, he had to keep a close eye on this person.

Pei Qian asked, Director Zhu, do you have any thoughts about this theme?

Zhu Xiaoce perked up. Boss Pei, this theme is very good. After listening to your words, Im deeply inspired!

Pei Qians expression turned serious. Oh? Tell me, how are you planning to film this movie?

Zhu Xiaoce organized his thoughts and said. I think this movie has some similarities with Tomorrow is Beautiful, but the plot cannot be repeated with Tomorrow is Beautiful, right?

Pei Qian pondered for a moment and said, Thats right!

What if Tomorrow is Beautiful became popular again? That would be the end.

Zhu Xiaoce continued, We have to go down the path of violent resistance this time.

There is an Easter egg throwing a gun at the end of Tomorrow is Beautiful. It is actually the interface that I saved for Tomorrow is Beautiful.

Of course, this movie will not become a sequel to Tomorrow is Beautiful, but the logic is the same.

This is what I think: The protagonist is the leader of the Resistance. His mission is to lead all the people at the bottom, fight against Tengda Corporations tyrannical policies, fight against a large number of company army employees and law enforcement robots.

Of course, the protagonist must have strong combat ability. He can obtain strong combat ability by modifying himself with the genetic serum, the bionic chip, and the prosthetic limb. Thats because only then can he defeat powerful enemies.

Therefore, the performance of the protagonist might be like some action blockbusters. It might seem unreasonable to make some famous scenes with one against many, but it would definitely be thrilling.

During this process, we can show the despairing Cyberpunk world in more details. For example, the protagonist is hidden in the low-level homeless group, describing the details of the lives of the wanderers in that world. The protagonist will a.s.sa.s.sinate the upper echelons of some companies and

emphasize the luxury and flouris.h.i.+ng of these upper echelons.

Another example would be to portray the powerful firepower of company employees and law enforcement robots, emphasize the suffocating pressure of this steel flood. The ubiquitous surveillance cameras and network surveillance cameras could highlight the terror of Tengda Corporations high

pressure rule.

You can achieve the effect you want by advancing layer by layer.

Pei Qian did not comment. He asked, Whats the final outcome?

Zhu Xiaoce said, The final outcome will be as you said. The protagonist will definitely fail!

However, I think this kind of failure should not be the kind of failure where the protagonist is directly eliminated and the protagonist dies.

If it was just such a simple failure, it might not have much effect. The sense of failure that it brings to the audience would not be strong enough. They might mistakenly think that Tengda Corporation is too strong. They might even develop a mentality of Mu Qiang. This might be diluting the thoughts

that we express.

I think this kind of failure should be that the protagonist would constantly modify himself in battles, from the genetic serum to the mechanical arm, and then to various high-intensity replicating chips. Every modification would make the protagonist stronger. However, at the same time, he would be

further away from a normal person.

The protagonist won this war against Tengda Corporation at the cost of abandoning his attribute as a normal person. After winning, the Resistance replaced Tengda Corporation. However, people cannot really abandon the convenience brought by high-tech technology.

Therefore, the things that Tengda Corporation left behind still had to be used and inherited. The Resistance naturally inherited these things and arranged for the corresponding people to manage them. However, once they grasp these resources, they can seek benefits for themselves. In the Cyberpunk

world, the flouris.h.i.+ng of matter and the indulgence of money at the top floor have reached a very extreme state.

At the end of the story, the protagonist dragged his body after the battle and came to the highest building to look down on the entire city. He sacrificed everything in order to overthrow Tengda Corporation. He became a life that could only be sustained by genetic serums and mechanical arms. However,

at the end of his success, he fell into deep confusion.

In the end, he left the world with a complicated expression.

think this can also correspond to the t.i.tle The Future You Choose and make the audience have rich a.s.sociations.

Pei Qian pondered for a moment and did not reply.

That was because he felt that Zhu Xiaoces idea seemed alright on the surface. However, on further thought, he felt that there was a problem.

However, he could not tell what the problem was.

Zhu Xiaoce seemed to have followed Pei Qians instructions and the ending was basically in line with Pei Qians expectations.

However, he still felt that something was strange and could not be particularly satisfactory.

Pei Qian looked at Yu Fei and Ye Zhizhou. What do you think about games?

Yu Fei was a little ashamed. I have to change the current plot slightly. I dont have a good idea for the time being.

Ye Zhizhou hesitated for a moment before saying, I have some design inspiration.

Since its a game, the biggest difference with movies must be the gameplay drive. This worldview is easier to make diverse gameplay.

I think the protagonist in the game can be a small character at the bottom of society. Even though this society has no way of rising, he still wants to climb up at all costs.

The entire game process can take more than ten hours. At the beginning of the game, he was in a street gang. He did some petty theft and street transactions. His combat methods were limited. He could only run when he met strong enemies and acc.u.mulate his money and connections.

After that, the protagonist would be introduced into the combat system. The protagonist would be able to obtain firearms and partic.i.p.ate in gun battles or street gun battles. The gameplay would also change from petty theft to violent robbery. The crime would be upgraded.

As the game enters the mid-term, the protagonist will partic.i.p.ate in more and more violent events and have wider connections. He will be able to issue missions as a connector or bring his underlings to complete large-scale missions.

However, the restrictions of the cla.s.ses prevented the protagonist from becoming an expert even though he had already made a name for himself in the underground world. Thus, he carried out a dangerous plan and targeted a young and rich man in the upper cla.s.s.

The protagonist spent a long time collecting data and using the bionic chip to learn the behavior model of this tyc.o.o.n. He collected his samples of the protagonist and successfully kidnapped, killed, and replaced this tyc.o.o.n through the loopholes of the security company.

After obtaining the ident.i.ty of a tyc.o.o.n, the protagonist would start to use tyc.o.o.ns resources to whitewash himself. On the other hand, he would continue to use legal or illegal methods to obtain benefits.

However, in the end, his ident.i.ty was exposed. Tengda Corporation mobilized an overwhelming law enforcement unit and captured the protagonists power in one fell swoop.

ERSNS EBNF NRA, we TOIT, RM NEARS SRT.

However, he fell into despair and jumped off the building in the face of Tengda Corporations overwhelming law enforcement units.

However, the law enforcement unit did not let him off. They opened fire densely when he was in free fall, causing him to explode into a firework in mid-air.

Tm mainly thinking from the perspective of the gameplay. The change in the protagonists ident.i.ty in the first, middle, and later stages can give players different experiences. The protagonists final sense of helplessness would make players feel the tragic and helpless feeling when facing Tengda

Corporation.

Pei Qian was silent for a moment.

He could finally tell that something was amiss.

Both of those ideas were too graphic!

Zhu Xiaoces idea was similar to The Matriarch, right? Ye Zhizhous idea was similar to GTA.

That wouldnt do!

If it was created, wouldnt it be a dual hit between a movie and a game?

However, their ideas completely followed Pei Qians instructions. Even if Pei Qian wanted to change it, he could not think of a specific way to change it.

After a moment of silence, Pei Qian said, I can tell. Both of you have outstanding skills.

Lactually dont have a good opinion on modifying these two ideas.

However, I think you two should change your ideas.

Director Zhu, your idea is to make games for Yu Fei and Ye Zhizhou. Ye Zhizhou, your idea is to make a movie for Director Zhu..
